Miner Upgrades

Available Upgrades (per device)

• Air Cooling+ / Liquid Cooling — lower temperature (liquid cooling requires full air cooling first)
• Platinum PSU / Custom Firmware — lower power draw, slightly raise hashrate (firmware requires the full PSU upgrade first)
• Overclock — raises hashrate, but also heat, power draw and wear

Timed Upgrades

Upgrades take time and are carried out by a worker. While the work is underway, the miner in question is offline and doesn’t produce anything. Once the upgrade is complete, the miner must be manually restarted.

Each additional tier increases the time required. The specific miner model can also affect how long the upgrade takes. With HashCoins you can finish an ongoing upgrade instantly — see the Premium Shop for details.
